Thomas Hardy's Tess of the d’Urbervilles
Early edition of Thomas Hardy's twelfth published novel. Octavo, original cloth with gilt titles to the spine, frontispiece, with black and white illustrations. In near fine condition.
Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the d’Urbervilles (1891) is a tragic novel that critiques Victorian social norms, particularly in relation to gender, class, and morality. The novel follows Tess Durbeyfield, a young woman whose life is shaped by forces beyond her control, including societal expectations and the consequences of her victimization by Alec d’Urberville. Hardy portrays Tess as a symbol of purity and resilience, challenging the rigid moral judgments imposed by Victorian society. Through his use of natural imagery and the pastoral setting of Wessex, Hardy emphasizes the contrast between Tess’s innate goodness and the harsh realities she faces.
